Both occupants of the vehicle traveling westbound were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have identified the driver of that vehicle as 18-year-old Nijah Chibeast. The passenger in the vehicle was a 17-year-old female.

Chibeast's family said Nijah was in the car with her girlfriend, who police have yet to identify. The two were planning to get married next year and had plans to have a baby, according to the family.

Lamaris Carter, Nijah's brother, said his sister was lively, fun, goofy, loved to play around and always had a smile on her face.

"She was there for me for all 16 years of my life, since day one. She was my rock man," Carter said, adding that his sister was very active in her church. "She's safe now. She's in heaven and she'll always be happy and happiness will always be with her."
